Chapter 25: Farming in Another Place

At the end of the autumn harvest, the total grain output counted by Bangta City shocked everyone, because this data actually reached a terrifying 760,000 tons!

Compared with the 570,000 tons harvested last autumn, it has actually increased by 190,000 tons!

Not to mention compared with the harvest of Bangta City in previous years, even if it is compared with those cities in the Lampari Kingdom that are obviously much larger than Bangta City.

Because of this total grain output, Bangta City has really made a name for itself in the Kingdom of Lampari. Let’s take a look at the two consecutive years of growth in the previous year and last year, making Bangta City an agricultural product for His Majesty the King and the Kingdom of Lampari. It is the only city to be named and commended at the same time.

For the kingdom of Lampari, which was in turmoil due to famine more than ten years ago, food is almost the most important thing, and no one dares to ignore it.

As the city lord of Bangta City, Earl Stark was able to make the total grain output of Bangta City jump from an astonishing 570,000 tons last year to 760,000 tons, which was immediately praised by everyone.

Originally, the economic development of Bangta City was stagnant because of Earl Stark's policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture, which affected the prosperity of Bangta City, and people who were very critical of Earl Stark, after knowing the total output of grain. , and immediately closed his mouth obediently.

Therefore, Earl Stark's position as the city lord, which seemed to be in jeopardy before the autumn harvest, was instantly stabilized after the autumn harvest. All lords of other cities.

However, Earl Stark, who has achieved such achievements, is surprisingly not highly regarded by the people of Bonta City. When talking about it in private, many people even directly expressed disdain for it.

"Bah! Last year, when Earl Satsuma carried out the autumn harvest, he had already counted all the farmland in Bangta City, and he also asked us to help with reference, and determined that even if all places were planted with wheat in Bangta City, all A bumper harvest is impossible to exceed 700,000 tons at most. As a result, this Earl Stark actually harvested 760,000 tons of wheat in one go. If you say that he did not cheat, I will not believe it.” Father Sakci was full of contempt. typical.

"You don't need to guess at all, okay?" Yashari, who is also from the village of Mexico as Father Sakechi, rolled his eyes and said, "My wife has a relative in Yodel Village, and he told my wife that Before the autumn harvest, the city lord's mansion sent a group of people to go and recruit all the villagers of Yodel Village, saying that they wanted to help them to open the canal, and to ensure that the city lord's mansion would take over the autumn harvest of Yodel village. Don't worry. When the autumn harvest is over, he will come back and see, buddy, guess how much wheat they got from Yodel Village?"

"How much?" A group of people, including Father Sakeqi, asked curiously.

"A total of 80,000 tons!" Yashali gestured and answered loudly.

"how is this possible!"

"Are you talking nonsense?"

"That's right, Yodel Village is only a little old, how could it be possible to harvest 80,000 tons of wheat? Our Cambia Village only harvested 60,000 tons!"

...

Hear this answer. Everyone immediately expressed strong doubts about the figure of 80,000 tons.

Everyone present here is a native of Bangta City, and they have worked in the farmland for no less than a few decades. Naturally, they are very clear about the food production of each village in Bangta City.

Before that, Yodel Village had such a deviated geographical position and the terrain was not good. A village with not a lot of farmland can only harvest about 30,000 tons of wheat at most, and it has to be a bumper harvest.

This year, it has directly turned into 80,000 tons, which is impossible for anyone who sees it.

"Hey, you don't know this, right? Let me tell you, my wife's relative went back to his original field to see it, and found that the amount of wheat straw left in the field after harvesting was doubled. It seems that they have planted so much grain in their fields. And you didn't read what it said in the "Bangta Daily". The City Lord's Mansion announced that they have promoted a kind of food in Bangta City for this autumn harvest. The new wheat seeds obtained by the Principality of Drak have a much higher yield than what we used before, so the wheat harvested in the end will be so much more than before." Yashali laughed.

"Bullshit." Father Sakci immediately reprimanded: "If there is such a good wheat seed, why should the Duchy of Drake give Earl Stark? They won't keep the seed for themselves."

Yashari shrugged: "Who knows? Maybe our city lord gave the Duchy of Drak some special benefit, so that they are willing to take out such a good wheat seed."

"Shit!" Father Sakci said angrily. "Didn't the county masters and ministers from the Duchy of Drake come here some time ago. They are obviously staying in the Valley of Falling Rain every day, chatting with President Xu in full swing. My son saw it with his own eyes, so how could it be possible? What cooperation with Earl Stark."

"Then who knows. How can commoners like us know what happened between these big men." Yashali said nonchalantly, "Besides. It's also a good thing that the food production in Bangta City is high, and it's a good thing to talk about it in the future. "

"Are you an idiot?" Father Sakci scolded him unceremoniously: "You still don't understand what this means? Now that the food production in Bangta City is high, this Earl Stark is in the position of the city owner. Sit more firmly. If he continues to pursue some kind of policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture, then we will all lose our jobs. Do you want to work tirelessly to farm every day like before?"

After listening to Father Sakeqi's scolding, Yashali and the group of people around were stunned, and after thinking about it, they found that what Father Sakeqi said was very reasonable.

The reason why they didn't like to see this new city lord before was because he implemented a policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture, which made all the chambers of commerce in Bangta City in jeopardy, and made many people lost to them. Very comfortable and well paid job.

But now Earl Stark has further secured the throne of the city lord because of the bizarre total grain output that broke out in this autumn harvest in Bangta City, so I am afraid that the major business associations in Bangta City will only be more sad.

Maybe, their jobs at the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will be lost because of this.

At this moment, Cantona, who had been waiting for a while, walked in.

As soon as they saw him, everyone asked the questions they were worried about.

Cantona smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, although our Cantona Chamber of Commerce is nominally a chamber of commerce, what we do is farming, which does not conflict with the policy of the Lord of the City. Last time, the Lord of the City also specially met with him. I will encourage our Chamber of Commerce to work hard. We must continue to help the farmers in Bangta City to plan and cultivate their farmland as before.”

"Really? Doesn't he know about your relationship with President Xu?" Yashari asked.

"So what if you know? For big people like them, it's the most important thing to bring what they need." Cantona smiled.

Father Sakci frowned at Cantona: "I said, Cantona, this guy gave you a little verbal praise. You want to turn your head and hold his stinky feet? "

Cantona laughed: "Father Sakechi, you underestimate me too. Although the city owner praised our chamber of commerce, it actually did not benefit our chamber of commerce at all. On the contrary, he also said that the fruit canning factory has affected Too bad, the entire village of Koror only grows fruit, but not wheat. If Koror also grows wheat, the total grain output of Bangta City can exceed 800,000 tons. "

"Ah?" Hearing these words, everyone stood up in unison. "Listen to this, is he going to close the fruit canning factory?"

Cantona sighed helplessly and said, "He didn't dare to directly force the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to close down the fruit canning factory, but he asked our Chamber of Commerce to help the villagers in Koror Village shovel all the fruit after the autumn harvest. Fruit trees. Growing grain in all fields."

"He dares!" Several villagers from Koror Village jumped up instantly and roared angrily: "The fruit tree we planted so hard has only been bearing fruit for two years, why does he say shovel Just shovel us?"

"That's right, the fruit canning factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is finally able to buy all the fruits. I plan to grow some more fruit trees tomorrow."

"Damn, I earned more than 300 gold coins from these two acres of fruit trees this year. How much can I earn from growing wheat? How much can I earn? Thirty gold coins? If he shovels all these fruit trees, will he give me the money? "

"More than that, my wife and daughter are both working in the fruit canning factory. Their salary is close to 30 gold coins each month. If we shovel all the fruit trees here. What about the fruit canning factory? Open? Aren't my wife and daughter going to be out of work?"

"Why doesn't this idiot city lord die? Our family can earn dozens of gold coins a month from this. Seeing that the canned fruit is selling so well, we will earn more in the future, but he directly told us not to do it. It just doesn't want us to have a good time!"

"Fuck, if I can't make it through. Go to this damn city lord and go all out!"

...

If everyone was chatting with suspicion and ridicule when they were talking about the total grain output of the autumn harvest, then suddenly hearing this matter related to their own vital interests, everyone's emotions instantly get excited.

Of course, Mingming relies on the income of fruit canning factories and orchards. The income of the villagers in Koror Village has made a qualitative leap, but now they have to be abolished by a single order from the city lord's government, so that they can go back to the hard life of renting land in the past, and no one can stand it. .

A group of people cursed loudly, but they couldn't come up with a good solution at all.

In the final analysis, they are just a group of ordinary peasants with weak power. At most, they can only scold the high-ranking city lord in their mouths. How could they really have a way to deal with it.

Only Father Sakeqi was still calm. After frowning and thinking for a while, he noticed that Cantona still had a smile on the corner of his mouth. He moved in his heart and asked, "Cantona, this idiot city lord did this. , is clearly forcing the fruit canning factory to close, what is President Xu's reaction to this?"

Cantona nodded approvingly to Father Sakechi, and when he saw everyone's eyes were focused, he smiled and said, "President Xu has already made arrangements. I called you here this time, just to ask you a question. What do you think about this arrangement?"

"Just say it, President Xu's arrangement must be good."

"That is, following President Xu will make life better, and following this idiot city lord will only lead to death."

"Well, Cantona, tell me, we will do whatever President Xu arranges."

...

"You can just listen to President Xu's arrangements for other matters, but this time, I think you should really think about it." Cantona said: "Because President Xu's arrangement is to let everyone farm in another place. "

"Change to another place to farm? Where to change?" Everyone asked suspiciously.

Cantona smiled, thinking that when he first heard about Xu Yi's plan, he was extremely shocked. Presumably, these people would be more surprised than himself after hearing it.

"This place...is the Principality of Standing."
